The form variant specifies a certain display form for the forms supplied. The following forms are delivered:

  • Standard Form
  • Summarized Form 1
  • Weekly Report

Each form variant is assigned to one or more trip provision variants.

In this IMG activity, you define the form variants via a four-place alphanumeric key and store a corresponding name.

Note

In this IMG activity you are merely creating a new form variant cover.

In a later IMG activity, the modules can be copied from the standard to the newly created form variants using a copy program and then changed as needed.

Via feature TRVFO, you then assign, also in a later IMG activity, the form variants to organizational employee and user groups.

Note

The form variants only apply for the standard form (called up by the

weekly report) and summarized form 1. However, for summarized form 1, you can only change the header line using the form variant. The form variants are not valid for summarized form 2.

Example 1

In the German Federal Republic, a special layout of the standard form is required for the Public Sector. Consequently, a special form variant should be created for the Public Sector.

Form variant Name of variant

FOXX Standard form: German Standard

FOOD Standard form: Germany
Public Sector

Example 2

For traveling employees and employees in the expenses department, different information should be displayed on the travel expense forms. Therefore, a separate form variant is created for each employee group.

Form variant Name of variant

FOXX Standard form: German Standard

FOSP Standard form: expenses department

FOMA Standard form: other employees

Standard settings

SAP's form variant FOXX is a basic setting, that corresponds with the standard form of earlier versions.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you copy form variant FOXX, and adapt the copy to suit your requirements.

Activities

  1. Choose the trip provision variant for which you want to define a form variant.
  2. Define new form variants as needed and store their corresponding names. Assign the form variant a form type.
